Posting about your new job on Facebook and other social networks is a good thing, but including a photo of your new badge-not so much.

Snapchat received some backlash a few days ago over its updated Terms of Service - which many interpreted to imply the company would now be storing your images to use in advertising. Well, that's true, but Snapchat already did so before for content like Live Stories - it has to save the photos and videos somewhere to share them with other parts of the world throughout the day.

After last year's brutal weather, folks in the Boston area might not be screaming "Snow day!" quite as exuberantly upon the arrival of this winter's first big storm. But New England Patriots hero Rob Gronkowski seems to have no problem with snowflakes as he headlines this epic, two-minute cold-weather commercial from Nike-ushering in the season of flurries, frozen feet and star-studded neighborhood Snow Bowls.

Talk about a touchy-feely campaign! To promote KitKat's launch in Colombia, J. Walter Thompson and Mindshare installed 20 billboards in the capital city of Bogota. That may sound like a typical move, but these were no ordinary out-of-home ads.

Kevin might just seem like a regular guy, but he's so nasty at Call of Duty that he gets to star in this ad for Black Ops III-complete with narration about his exploits from actor Michael B. Jordan, and a stunned reaction from football star Marshawn Lynch.

Facebook is looking for new ways to get users to share more, rather than just consume content, in a push that seemingly puts it in more direct rivalry with Twitter. It's a strange paradigm, but some studies have shown that Facebook has become a place to passively consume, rather than actively share your thoughts.

Ikea is opening its second store in Malaysia, and the retailer's products physically can't contain their excitement. That's judging by this fun new music video that the brand just released, from BBH Asia Pacific, in which various products are seen celebrating by dancing furiously.

Twitter's "favorite" button, the service's primary way for users to signal agreement, acknowledgement, laughter, support, and occasionally (and perversely!) utter hatred, is officially dead.

In a blog post earlier today, Pushbullet, the app that brings multi-device sharing to Android announced an update for Android 6.0 (Marshmallow). The update wasn't a small one and featured the typical security and bug fixes as well as improvements to minor annoyances such as slow SMS sync, battery use, and for good measure the team even shrunk the app size by 25 percent.

Call of Duty has a long, funny, entertaining history of celebrating the action and adventure prowess of everyday people.

No doubt next month's round-up will be Christmas retail-heavy (and quite possibly full of moustaches). This time we're covering the almighty Prince's first foray into the world of Instagram, some big announcements from Twitter and Facebook, and lots of other social news and campaigns that caught our eye last month.

Did Facebook wish anyone else a good morning today? The graphic pictured to the right appeared atop my News Feed when I first logged into Facebook (via desktop) Wednesday morning. Readers: Has anyone seen anything similar?

According to a recent study, the communication experience on Snapchat is more positive than Facebook and other social media.

The Christmas ad season doesn't truly begin in Britain until John Lewis unleashes its annual tear-jerker. Be prepared - it's a really emotional one.

It's odd that Google hasn't brought the beloved 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button from its search engine to YouTube. Clicking it instead of the 'search' button automatically takes you to the first search result. YouTube's now pretty good with search, to the point that you almost never have to scroll through results to find the video you were looking for.
